What book series published by Jim Butcher follows a wizard in modern day Chicago?

The story behind the answer

The Dresden Files is Jim Butcher’s urban fantasy series starring Harry Dresden, a wizard who works as a private investigator in modern-day Chicago. Blending hardboiled detective noir with magic, the series begins with Storm Front (2000) and follows Harry as he tackles supernatural crimes, narrated with wit and grit. It even inspired a short-lived TV adaptation in 2007.
